I think it's a capped die error, could be a Grease Filled Die. Will wait for a pro to answer. Nice find.

Technically, struck through a capped die.
Very nice error!

No kidding. The way they pop up around here you would think they were an easy find.

Thanks for the responses! :D I had a question about if there would be any way to determine the mint this was produced at?

I believe all the dies were produced in Philly until 1995 when the Denver die shop was opened.

I was looking at the reverse of the coin and noticed what looks like an "N" on the stairs. I have circled this in the pic. Is that normal?

The "N" on the reverse looks like PMD. The mint mark looks like a D so the coin was minted at Denver and the dies were made at Philly.
